I bring a background in cognitive and visual neuroscience along with extensive experience teaching science and psychology across multiple levels. I completed a Master’s degree at North Dakota State University’s Center for Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience and pursued doctoral-level work, with training in experimental design, statistical analysis, and the biological bases of cognition and behavior. My academic work emphasized not only mastery of complex material, but also how individuals efficiently learn, retain, and apply knowledge in demanding academic environments.
I have taught and worked with students ranging from middle school through undergraduate levels in both one-on-one and large-scale online settings, often within high-volume, mixed-ability classrooms. This required developing structured, adaptable approaches that prioritize clarity, precision, and efficiency. I am particularly well suited to working with students who are preparing for advanced coursework, refining their understanding, or seeking to move beyond memorization toward deeper conceptual mastery.
My approach focuses on identifying patterns, simplifying complexity, and building durable understanding that transfers across problems and contexts. Drawing on principles from cognitive science, I help students develop more effective strategies for learning, problem-solving, and performance under pressure. The goal is not only to improve immediate outcomes, but to equip students with a more efficient and independent approach to learning over time.
